Collaboration: eDrawings

Chapter 9: Collaboration: eDrawings

How to collaborate with non-SOLID WORKS users

Sometimes we need to collaborate with other members of the design team

in the same room, same building, or even across the world. With the convenience

of e-mail, it's easier than ever to share our designs using eDrawings. We can send

our extended design team, customers or suppliers a file by e-mail with all the

design information needed for them to review and send back feedback to the

designer. A big advantage of eDrawings is that it is available for Windows and

Apple, iPad, iPhone, and Android devices.

We can generate eDrawings files from Parts, Assemblies, Drawings, and

simulation studies. The only thing we need to do is to press the Publish eDrawings

File icon from the "Save" fly-out toolbar, or go to the menu "File, Publish to

eDrawings" while the document we want to share is active. The eDrawings viewer

will be loaded with the same document. After we generate an eDrawings file, it

becomes a read-only file; we cannot modify it, but we can print it, zoom in, or out,

section it, etc. For this example, we'll publish an eDrawings file from the 'Gear Box'

assembly drawing. Depending on your installation of eDrawings, your screen will

look something like this:
